Abstract


Nowadays the theme of reducing energy needs for bituminous mixtures production is topical. In this case is one of the solutions to use low temperature bituminous mixtures. This modern technology ensures the similar or higher quality parameters in one hand with lower processing temperature, compared to conventional mixtures produced by the hot process. This article is based on controlled study approach and deals with properties experimental verification of low temperature bituminous mixtures focusing on fatigue, crack propagation, Young´s modulus and complex modulus.

Keywords
